6 Monte Carlo and Sensitivity/Worst-Case Analyses

Temperature Considerations in

Statistical Anal

ses

The statistical analyses perform multiple runs, as does the

temperature analysis. Conceptually, the Monte Carlo and worst-

case loops are inside the temperature loop. However, since both

temperature and tolerances affect the model parameters, you can

quickly get into detailed questions about how the two interact.

Therefore, we recommend not enabling temperature analysis

when using the Monte Carlo or worst-case analyses.

Also, it will not work to sweep the temperature in a DC sweep

analysis while performing one of these statistical analyses, or to

put tolerances on temperature coefficients. You will notice in

example.sch how the temperature value is fixed at 35°C.
